Lubuntu keeps asking if Chrome Remote Desktop should be reinstalled.
Lubuntu keeps asking if Chrome Remote Desktop should be reinstalled.
the issue began when attempting to set up Chrome Remote Desktop on Lubuntu 18 using Firefox. Initially, the gdebi installer blocked me because it claimed only one package manager could be open at a time. After rebooting, the software reported broken dependencies, making installation difficult. Using lxterminal also failed. Now gdebi isn't working and terminal commands keep returning the same error message. What happened and how to resolve it?
It seems Chromium is no longer available in Ubuntu distributions. You'll need to get it via the Snap Store instead.
Apt is the package manager for Debian-based systems, including Ubuntu. To reset the cache, use sudo apt autoremove and sudo apt clean. For missing dependencies, run sudo apt-get install -f. To remove a specific package like Chrome Remote Desktop, delete its file in ~/Downloads using dpkg --purge, then reinstall via sudo apt update and upgrade.
I attempted several options but received the same message: "E: The package chrome-remote-desktop needs to be reinstalled, etc."
